US index futures traded down to session lows as US traders sat at their desks after rising modestly earlier in the session, and were down 27 points or 0.6% at 730am ... while Treasury yields stabilized after reversing an earlier spike rising as high as 1.8064% before dropping to 1.7656% following a global bond selloff last week as investors awaited key inflation data later in the week.

Market volatility continues to grow almost everywhere, with lingering uncertainties keeping pressure on sentiment, said Pierre Veyret, technical analyst at ActivTrades.
